TSCP was set up in July 2003 and is one of eight Safety Camera Partnerships across Scotland. The Partnership operates within the rules and guidelines of the Scottish Safety Camera Programme.

Tayside Safety Camera Partnership (TSCP) currently operates a mix of fixed and mobile safety camera units and enforces the speed limits at sites and along routes with a history of excessive speeds, collisions and casualties. These sites follow a strict criteria laid out by the Scottish Safety Camera Programme. Where we enforce and the deployment of safety cameras can be found on the website.

TSCP use a combination of enforcement and education to encourage motorists to observe speed limits and alter their attitude and behaviour on the road.

The Partnership aim’s to raise awareness of the dangers of excessive and inappropriate speed and encourage motorists to slow down and drive safely at an appropriate speed for the road and weather conditions.

You don’t have to be speeding to be going too fast for the road and weather conditions. Please remember that speed limits are a maximum, not a target.

The Scottish Safety Camera Programme is an evidence-based road safety scheme, aimed at reducing the number of people killed or injured on roads in Scotland by changing driver behaviour and by ensuring that motorists are aware of the dangers of excessive and inappropriate speeds.

Scotland’s Road Safety Framework

TSCP aims to contribute to Scotland’s Road Safety Framework and casualty reduction targets by

• ensuring that safety cameras are deployed at priority sites in need of casualty reduction and
• raising public awareness of the dangers of excessive and inappropriate speed and influencing drivers to reduce their speed and drive safely within the legal limits.

Scotland’s Road Safety Framework that sets out road casualty reduction targets to be achieved by 2020, with milestones at 2015.

Speed is one of the areas of priority identified in the Framework that needs to be addressed in order to achieve the challenging Scottish road safety targets.
